The Original Silent Hill's Infamous Alley Intro Is Still the Scariest Moment I've Ever Experienced in a Game

In 2000, a 9-year-old Zack rented the original Silent Hill for PS1 from Blockbuster and was so terrified by the game's alley intro that he turned it off and vowed never to play it again. He describes the fog, the air raid siren, the bloody corpses, and the knife-wielding childlike creatures before a bat-like monster crashes through the diner glass. Despite later playing other series entries and Resident Evil, he has never returned to the original and expects to do so only when the remake arrives.
